Craighall

Craighall is a suburb of Johannesburg, South Africa and is bordered by Hyde Park, Dunkeld and Parkhurst.

It sits in between the busy arterial routes of Jan Smuts Avenue and Winnie Mandela Drive and is located in Region B of the City of Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality.

Craighall was established in 1902 by the Scot, William Rattray,[2] the owner of a large farm, Klipfontein, which at the time was an hour's journey by horse-carriage to the north of the bustling mining town of Johannesburg.

The main natural feature of Craighall is the cascading rocky waterfall on the Braamfontein Spruit at the north-west corner of the suburb.

It remains a spacious, treed residential suburb with abundant bird-life, yet located within 6 minutes drive of Sandton.
